The Front Runner | Film Review

Hey Guys x This film came out on the Sky Premiere channels recently, and while the description didn't really attract me that much, I was mainly watching in the hope that it would kind of turn into a political thriller or something. And then of course, Hugh Jackman. In 1987, Gary Hart (Hugh Jackman) becomes the front runner for presidential nomination. However, when a scandal is brought to light, he finds that his exploits threaten to ruin both his campaign and his marriage. I didn't hate this film, but I certainly didn't love it, for so many reasons. At the beginning, it's quite interesting. You'd think there were no more unknown political stories to tell, but this was a story that I didn't know about, and a lot of people also might not know who Gary Hart was. For a while, there's nothing new. If you've seen any politics-based movie, you've seen Hollywood's version of the campaign trail. This is no different in any way. T
